Description of the Change
Failures with building the environment due to something going on with Debian (stable-slim), always felt that it was overly expensive for the actual needs of this action which is "just" a Bash script. The GitHub runners generally include all things necessary for this action - SVN, Git, rsync, and zip. Composite run steps are a thing as of about a year ago, and looks like as of the last couple months there is more official support for them being used as actions themselves. See https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/creating-a-composite-run-steps-action
Alternate Designs
Switching from Debian to Ubuntu, but this still has issues around building the image, etc. We could cache it, but that is getting into wild overkill territory IMO.
Benefits
Faster runs with fewer dependencies
Possible Drawbacks
Not sure right now, need to test to see how exactly inputs and environment variables work with this method.
Verification Process
Will be testing on my test repo.
